SequentialGuid.NodaTime

NuGet NuGet Downloads

NodaTime integration for the SequentialGuid library. Generate sequential UUIDs from NodaTime Instant, OffsetDateTime, and ZonedDateTime values, and extract embedded timestamps as Instant.

Install

dotnet add package SequentialGuid.NodaTime

Requires NodaTime 2.4.0 or later.

Features

Feature Description
GuidV7.NewGuid(instant) Generate a UUIDv7 from an Instant, OffsetDateTime, or ZonedDateTime
GuidV7.NewSqlGuid(instant) Same as above but with SQL Server byte ordering
GuidV8Time.NewGuid(instant) Generate a UUIDv8 from an Instant, OffsetDateTime, or ZonedDateTime
GuidV8Time.NewSqlGuid(instant) Same as above but with SQL Server byte ordering
guid.ToInstant() Extract the embedded timestamp as a NodaTime Instant

Quick Start

Generate UUIDs from NodaTime types

using NodaTime;
using SequentialGuid;

var now = SystemClock.Instance.GetCurrentInstant();

// UUIDv7 (millisecond precision) - recommended for most applications
var id = GuidV7.NewGuid(now);

// UUIDv8 (tick precision)
var id = GuidV8Time.NewGuid(now);

// SQL Server byte order variants
var sqlId = GuidV7.NewSqlGuid(now);
var sqlId = GuidV8Time.NewSqlGuid(now);

Generate from OffsetDateTime or ZonedDateTime

var offsetDt = new OffsetDateTime(
    new LocalDateTime(2025, 7, 1, 12, 0, 0),
    Offset.FromHours(-5));
var id = GuidV7.NewGuid(offsetDt);

var zonedDt = offsetDt.InZone(DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb["America/New_York"]);
var id = GuidV7.NewGuid(zonedDt);

Extract a timestamp as Instant

using NodaTime;

Guid id = GuidV7.NewGuid();
Instant? created = id.ToInstant();
// Returns the embedded UTC timestamp as an Instant, or null if not a sequential GUID

Supported Timestamp Types

All generation methods accept these NodaTime types:

Type Notes
Instant Directly converted; most common usage
OffsetDateTime Converted to Instant (for V8) or DateTimeOffset (for V7)
ZonedDateTime Converted to Instant (for V8) or DateTimeOffset (for V7)

Legacy API

The package also includes extension methods for the deprecated SequentialGuidGenerator and SequentialSqlGuidGenerator classes. These are marked [Obsolete] and will forward to GuidV8Time under the hood:

// Deprecated - use GuidV7/GuidV8Time directly instead
#pragma warning disable CS0618
var id = SequentialGuidGenerator.Instance.NewGuid(instant);
var sqlId = SequentialSqlGuidGenerator.Instance.NewSqlGuid(instant);
#pragma warning restore CS0618
